"but if you buy your shiney new 800s at a discount then do a sale and lease back deal on a few each year (several million cash back on each) then count said payments as profit / revenue (it actually is technically - and cleverish too ) then your figures can look very healthy.
unfortunately you're then in the position that you have to keep doing the same thing over and over again. eventually the bubble will burst"
- Wasn't Harry Goodman very succesful at this kind of leaseback?
